Today is February 22nd.
My mother Teresa's heavenly birthday.
And I'm going to be more vulnerable with you than usual because the energy right now - Fire Horse + Eclipse + grief + this collective awakening - it's all connected.
😔 Here's what I need you to understand:
Losing my mother was a wake-up call I couldn't ignore.
All the trauma I hadn't dealt with? It came SCREAMING to the surface.
All the people-pleasing? I saw how it had stolen my power.
All the pretending I was "fine"? It crumbled.
Grief will do that. It strips away everything that isn't real.
And I believe - deeply - that I was initiated as a medium in 2018 specifically to handle all the death that was coming. My mother's. Others'. The death of old identities. The Dark Night of the Soul that grief becomes.
So if you're feeling the shift right now - restless, urgent, like you CAN'T keep pretending the corporate job fits...
Maybe it's not just Fire Horse energy.
Maybe it's grief too.
Grief for time you've wasted. Grief for the version of yourself you've been playing. Grief for opportunities you've let pass because you were too scared.
And maybe - like me after my mother died - you're realizing:
There's no time to waste.
💗Here's what I wish someone had told me (and what I'm telling you now):
Take care of yourself. Not "someday." Now.
Get your will in order. Get your living power of attorney done. Make your end-of-life wishes KNOWN.
Don't let the government or someone else decide your fate when you can't speak for yourself.
I know this isn't typical "high vibe" content. But it's REAL.
And empathic women over 40? We're at the age where parents are dying. Where our own mortality becomes real. Where we realize we've been living for everyone else and we might run out of time to live for OURSELVES.
If you're feeling the urgency to leave corporate, start your healing work, answer your calling?
That's not just astrology. That's WISDOM.
Your soul knows: Life is short. Your gifts are needed NOW. There's no time to keep waiting for "perfect."
❓One question for this week (in honor of my mother Teresa):
What would you do THIS WEEK if you knew - really KNEW - that life is short and your time to make an impact is NOW?
Not "someday." Not "when I'm ready." THIS WEEK.
☯️ Because Mercury Retrograde starts Wednesday (Feb 26). After that, we go inward until March 20.
So if you've got external action to take - book that domain, tell your partner, research your business structure, join a community, book a connection call - do it BEFORE Wednesday.
Honor your urgency. It's not anxiety. It's TRUTH.
My mother's death taught me: We don't have forever. And the people we're meant to help? They need us NOW.
Not when we're "ready enough."
Not when we're "certified enough."
Not when we feel "worthy enough."
NOW.
Do ONE thing this week that honors the shift you're feeling.
And please - PLEASE - get your affairs in order. Your will. Your power of attorney. Your wishes. Don't leave it to chance.
The universe is conspiring for you. But you have to meet it halfway.
With love and grief and urgency,
Christine 💔
P.S. Happy heavenly birthday, Mom. You taught me more in death than you ever could have in life. I'm finally living like I mean it.
P.P.S. If you don't have your will, living power of attorney, and end-of-life wishes documented - do it this week. Please. Don't let someone else decide your fate.
P.P.P.S - My mom didn't like pictures and this was from my Grandmothers "Rhoda" funeral. What a reminder!
